Love says rest of NBA enjoyed seeing Heat get beat in finals

Kevin Love is turning into the NBA’s resident quote machine during the lockout, spouting on a variety of topics as he promotes his summer diversion as a beach volleyball player.

Besides talk about his new sport, he told New York City sports talk station WFAN’s Boomer and Carton (hat tip to Sports Radio Interviews.com) that most of the rest of the NBA reveled in seeing Dallas beat Miami in the NBA Finals.

“Oh yeah, great amount of joy out of it,” Love said. “Plus, for me, they say nice guys, good guys finish last. But Dallas, they just had a slew of great guys and veterans on their team that made for just a great team.

“It wasn’t just two, three, four guys on the team, like Miami I kind of felt it was. Around the league, it was kind of a consensus that guys were happy.”

Not surprising, I guess. It turns out that NBA players are like the rest of us.
